No matter what the age gap between your two kids, it has its own share of pros and cons. Research has shown that a longer gap between two pregnancies, five years or more, reduces the risk of a caesarean. Plus, if your child is five or six years old when you plan the second pregnancy, he/she can easily understand the concept of a new baby and other family members can look after him/her without much difficulty. An older child is also more likely to welcome the new baby.
On the other hand, if you first child is still very young, he/she may feel left out, and the feeling of insecurity may be higher. You may feel restless leaving a younger child at home while you are at the hospital.
But if you're in your late reproductive stage, a very large age gap between two pregnancies is not advisable. This is because it may lead to insufficient supply of nutrients to the baby and thus, interfere with proper growth of the fetus in some cases.
So, if you are worried about your age and fertility, it is better that you plan your second pregnancy sooner.
Having said so, you should keep adequate gap between your pregnancies. Experts advise not to plan your second pregnancy at least for 18 months after the first baby. It is best to keep a gap of at least three years between the two kids.
Before you plan to have a second baby, first make sure that you are healthy and that you and your partner can take on the responsibility of having another baby. Here are a few more things to keep in mind when you plan to get pregnant again:
